HMRC now recognises three more payroll productsGOV for reporting PAYE online
GOV following the latest list change. The recognised-software list gained one row in the free-software table and two in the paid-for table. Each table pairs a supplier's name with its products. The list is addressed to employers choosing software: recognised products can be used to report PAYE to HMRC online
GOV.
The free-table addition is AI Payroll's Flow PayrollGOV, placed between Accentra Technologies Ltd's Primo Payroll and Collegia Partners Limited's FreePayroll. The free table covers software recognised by HMRC for businesses with fewer than 10 employees
GOV, so the smallest employers gain a further option alongside Primo Payroll, FreePayroll, Enrolpay Small Payroll, RTI Lite, Basic PAYE Tools, 1 A Simple Payroll and Stansoft Linux. A business choosing from this table should first work through how to get ready to employ staff, then check the product carries every feature it needs.
The paid-table additions are PayAdjust Ltd's PayAdjust, placed between Oxford Software's Tempaid and Payback Payroll Software's Payback Payroll, and Snappy Payroll Ltd's Snappy PayrollGOV, placed between Skynet Applied Systems Ltd's SkyPayroll and Sopra HR Software's HR Access. They join the existing paid-for table with no employee-count limit stated for that table. Employers settling on a paid product should check the product carries the features they need before committing, since the list records recognition, not suitability for any particular payroll setup.
Listing is not a recommendation.GOV HMRC states it cannot recommend one product or service over another and is not responsible for problems with software bought. Employers should consider which features they need and check the chosen software has those features before committing, rather than treating recognition as an endorsement of quality or fit.
Legal basis: HMRC's recognised payroll software list — the listed products can be used to report PAYE onlineGOV, and HMRC recommends no product over another.
If you are choosing payroll software, check whether Flow Payroll, PayAdjust or Snappy Payroll meets your feature needs and confirm its recognised status before committing.
